good to see gary paffett doing well for mclaren, considering hes the test/reserve driver

[Stealthgate007]

both Schumi and Rosberg are out on track today??

Personally I take little heed of the testing times, as no one but the teams know exactly what they are testing for. Are they trying a heavy setup one day, or another strange tweak another day that doesn't give them full straight line speed but gives them valuable data in other areas? Are they having tea & biscuits on the way around? Is the Flux capacitor working properly?

When the green light goes out at the first race, then thats when I start to pay attention.

Apparently the Williams is caning the crap out of it's tyres...

Vettel fastest, closest in a 2011 car was Alonso who did the most laps as well

Interesting how much slower everyone is than last year. Best time last year was in the 1:11's I think.

Lots of comments of dissatisfaction with the speed of tyre degradation.

Completely new back for the RB7 today (it includes a move to the exhaust outlet I think):-

Man I'm really getting a kick looking at all of the different rear wing desings. It's amazing how much volume the DDD took up, the cars look downright sexy in the rear now. How do you say that in Italiano?
